Part IV:
It is late afternoon and the high street is packed with OAPs, single mothers and teenagers bunking from school. Workers are enjoying their late lunch breaks, sitting in small coffee shops or Burger King. Out of the crowd comes JJS. He carrys his bag and holds a piece of paper in his left hand. He is scouring the door numbers, looking for something. Eventually near the end of the street, JJS arrives at a fair sized building which appears to be a gym. He walks through the door and climbs some stairs into a boxing area.
JJS: Hello! Hello... FRANKIE, YOU IGNORANT *******!
A small office door opens and a young man in a dressing gown steps into the room. Frankie looks roughly twenty years old, and has brown hair and green eyes, a weird combination.
Frankie: JJ? Hell bruv, it is you!
Frankie hugs JJS tightly, lifting him of the floor in the process.
JJS: Wasn't expecting me, was you?
Frankie: Not at all, little bro! Why are you here anyway, little holiday, eh?
JJS: I wish... No, you see, I'm staying in England.
Frankie: Why? Did Mom kick you out or something?
JJS and Frankie walk into the office, where they sit down and JJS explains his past week. The fight with Leo, being hunted down and escaping from New Zealand. Frankie is stunned.
JJS: Crazy, huh...
Frankie: Murder? You killed that Leo and those two dudes. Murder?
JJS: I didn't mean it, I had no option, they killed my friends, they were going to ki...
Frankie: JJ! Calm the **** down. You did what you had to do. You are only fourteen, dude. Tell you what, you can stay here, I have plenty of room. Get a job and we can forget you going back home.
JJS: A job? No job. I ain't spending my life in a factory. I was no good in school, I kept flunking. How can I get a decent job?
Frankie: No factory. Look at this...
Frankie slides to his desk and gives JJS a flyer for a Wrestling Masterclass. JJS studies it and gets a cheeky look on his face.
Frankie: I have a boxing gym, but I am a very good wrestler. I will teach you. You do that class and scouts from all over the indi circuits will be watching. You know the WWE? Most of them start at places like that. It's your choice...
JJS takes a moment to think it over and gets up from the chair.
JJS: Let's go. Coach.
Frankie: Haha! Brilliant stuff, little bro.
They eagerly walk out of the room, but JJS stops Frankie and points at something.
Frankie: I get it. Clothes first...
Frankie rushes upstairs to his flat, while JJS walks over to a window by the ring. The sun is dropping again and it is early evening. It is just another day.
